Seafood business

By taking action to source only responsibly-managed marine resources, and by effectively marketing these endeavours, companies can gain business advantage in the increasingly environmentally-aware global and domestic markets.

Bobby Chinn and WWF are working together to promote sustainable seafood in the Coral Triangle region.

For example, as trade in live reef food fish expands across and beyond the Coral Triangle, it is depleting fish stocks essential to the natural function of reefs.

Many reasons to act fast

Meanwhile, boats are intensifying their fishing efforts to compensate for the declining amount of tuna they catch per trip. And according to some estimates, “trash fish” can outweigh the weight of the target catch by more than 10 to one in shrimp fisheries, causing operational losses.

WWF has been working in the Coral Triangle for the past decades to study, document and solve these problems. Increasingly, we develop solutions in partnership with seafood businesses.
